SU carbs will not sustain Heavy load
Could he clamp off the return hose and see what happens? Simple way to see if they're getting bypassed, the float bowls I mean.

He manipulates the reviews. Like our POTUS.

Why not bend the float tabs?

I hate Chinese "Metal"
Every girl I've been around except my Mom and two Grandmothers have "self examined"! I found one on her back in the tub faucet wide open.

Where to go with unknown build ive acquired
2.4s are peppy, revving and fun to drive. I crank my 2.8 once a month but drive the 240 as much as I can. I've been reading on here since 2011 and still don't know what "stroker" means.

1972 Float Adjustment ...
I'm with Mark, it may be as simple as a plug wire's bad connection. I use dielectric grease on all my connections, FYI.

"Protype" for the Vintage Z program?
Get Kats to send some floor sweepings and coat that baby. Adam Corrolla would buy it.

Introduction
Good buy. Those carbs are worth $200 as cores. Steering wheel and shift knob if OE and you've got your money back. Hang around here, we want you to, and you'll get the bug and be done a lot sooner than 4 years. My passenger's floor is rotted too from a leaky heater core. Luckily they make weld in replacements. Luckily I'll do that one day.

Was it a scam CL listing? Maybe copied from BAT like the white with red rocker striped 240 that was all over CL.

Nice looking car! All I've seen is the spark plugs and the carbs. 30 wt for hotter climates, according to 240260280 or Blue or Phillip.

When I figured out my starvation problem it was while going up a mountain. The car would barely run. I could roll it backwards and cut the wheel, perpendicular with the road and let the bowls fill back up then it ran fine for a few more minutes.

Introduction
My '72 is 69,000ish VIN and metal buckets, FWIW. The '73s have a bigger front bumper and a filler strip. The mounts are different too I believe. Nice project you have there.

1972 Float Adjustment ...
I agree, enjoy the car now that YOU have set the float levels (with Marks help-THANK YOU MARK). If you look for problems they'll show up, real and imagined. I can't remember what oil you're using in the SUs but I'm thinking in a hot climate one is the best. Don't know but I'm hoping someone can tell you. Maybe ATF would be be best? But I haven't a clue. I run the 20 weight 3in 1.

Bumper ReShape
That $1,000 could and should be spent on other areas judging by the picture posted.

Bumper ReShape
I think I would remove it from the car and hope some ideas presented themselves when off. Put it against a tree and push it in with a four wheeler or another car? Put a ratchet strap around it and pull it in? Squirt all the nuts with a mix of a quart ATF and a quart of acetone. That stuff works great, and you'll have enough for that Z and a couple more.

Exhaust recommendations
Muffler before the rear bumper, Dynomax I think.it came with the premium 2.5" from MSA. Resonator was added later to stop highway drone and to keep my neighbors happy. It was pretty loud. Cliff

I'd more likely have a beer box than cereal, both will work I imagine. Macgyver, Phillip Angus.

SS Bumpers from Vietnam
Mine's close, like an eighth inch off the body. I remember sliding paper between to make sure there wasn't contact. If you wanted or it needs to be farther away couldn't you do it with extra washers? The deal Mr Patton gave me was a no brainer. I'd ordered black powder coat but he called and said they were not perfect and alas wouldn't send them to me. So he offered me a deal I couldn't refuse. Very happy with them and so glad I didn't get black. The chrome bumpers and shiny lip Rewinds are perfect. 8^)

Imagine that!
I like my '72 240 the best of anything with four wheels I've ever owned. No computers or ECUs, black boxes etc. My favorite of all time, flat spot on the front tire with gravel inside, had only 3 wheels.

Imagine that!
That's bad just to stop erratic vehicle behavior but this will keep the lawyers busy for years... "The report noted that Herzberg tested positive for methamphetamine and marijuana, and that she did not look in the direction of the vehicle until just before impact."
